Camels, Eyes Of Needles

One of the many things I remember from my Christian upbringing is that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of Heaven. So Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo must have created either a very large needle or a very small camel, or both.

Pastor Matthew, you see, is on a quarter of a million quid a year, dwarfing the mere £66,140 that the Archbishop of Canterbury apparently needs to keep the wolf from the door. The well-endowed Pastor is leader of the Kingsway International Christian Centre, which rips off its flock to fund his lavish lifestyle.
